Sažetak
Pianists and conductors communicate music through their performance. Often, musicians are considered to be reproductive artists only, but recent researches have confimed that music is strongly presented not only through aural but also through visual and kinesthetic engagement. The background of different visual and kinesthetic, as well as aural (purely musical) types of performers, may be found in two different artistic approaches to the musical piece. Often musicians compare their art with the art of acting and vice versa. Studies theatrological works of authors such as Denis Diderot, Konstantin Sergejevič Stanislavski, Branko Gavela, in relation to writings of musicians such as Carl Phillipp Emanuel Bach, Heinrich Neuhaus, Alfred Brendel, to name a few, shows two basic styles of artistic approaches in performing arts. On one side is Diderot based artistic personae, and on the other side is Stanislavski based artistic personae. Both approaches include narration as part of training (associations based on literature, emotions, atmosphere...) to assist the understanding of musical essence and meaning. Specific piano and conducting techniques also require narration as an artistic function in order to avoid mechanical ways of practising. Narration is also implemented as the essential part of public performance. If performance is considered through „being“, „doing“, „showing doing“ and „explaining 'showing doing'“ as Richard Schechner suggests, that leads us into the analysis of the pianism/conducting as performance. Technical personae presents an idea of artistic personae through realisation of music partitura on stage (showing doing). The role of performance analysis of pianism and conducting is to explain embodied narration that, in our opinion, presents metatechnical part of pianism/conducting, by the term of metatechnical personae. This research is based on theory and practise. Theoretical part uses interdisciplinary research methods characteristic for the Performance Studies, while practical part consists on teaching experience in piano pedagogy and engagement as various ensemble conductor. The intention of this research is to underline the verbal narration of different authors, music eseysts, theatrologysts and psychologists while explaining the perceived narration of pianist and conductor during public performances. The work presents the specific narration used to explain the artistic performance issues that are beyond narration. The work presents three narrative models – during training (narrative story and drama in music, rhetoric, playing roles), within the performance (narrative expression, narrative body language), and aftermath of performance (narrative of critics, analyses, performance studies). Special attention is given to a narrative explanation within the transfer of knowledge in art education, as well as narrative explanation within the performance studies of pianism and conducting.
